My latest project

I have been wanting to find a large frame and customize it with a chalkboard.

All summer, I hit up several local thrift stores and several yard sales and found nothing acceptable at the price of almost "free". Yea, does any of you feel my pain here?

Last week, at my favorite thrift store.......this little gem was just sitting there. The price on it was $9.99. I did a double take and questioned the guy walking around. It has a couple of dings on the top. For a chalkboard in my kitchen.....I call it purposely distressed.

The hubby cut a piece of masonite to size and decided to be a nice guy and paint as well. He knows that I hate using a paint brush. My preferred paint method is spray paint. Yea, I am that lazy.

This is the finished frame and the new kitchen wall color. He painted that too.

Next.......... I want to find a new kitchen table & chairs. Well, maybe that and cross something off the bucket list. Apple Pie?
